Telling Stories
with Data

Think of all the popular data visualization works out there—the ones
that you always hear in lectures or read about in blogs, and the ones
that popped into your head as you were reading this sentence. What do
they all have in common? They all tell an interesting story. Maybe the
story was to convince you of something. Maybe it was to compel you
to action, enlighten you with new information, or force you to question
your own preconceived notions of reality. Whatever it is, the best data
visualization, big or small, for art or a slide presentation, helps you
see what the data have to say.
